I just had my review and nothing about a bonus was mentioned. Has anyone else heard anything?
Topics regarding layoffs at Bass Pro Shops
Middle Person Macon
it’s a shame how some employees have to struggle to make sure they can make it to work, she has no clue because rules doesn’t apply. Again misses a day and is unaccounted for again. She must be special.
New Schedule System
Curious how employees at other stores are feeling about it.
Loss prevention
There is none. And the thieves know it.
Macon ga, employees going else wherr
It is funny I have posted about this 2 times and somehow it keeps being taken off, does Corp. Not want people to know how employees in macon are treated? Or the fact you have some that can get away with c-ap like being out more then they work. Or the... — read more
Bonus for managers?
Looking for any information on bonuses to be issued in 2021. Thoughts on whether management will receive bonuses and if so, ballpark percentage? How are bonuses calculated? Last year was a tough year for everyone - curious if people will be... — read more
Unbearable customers
People simply lack empathy. Many of those we greet surely themselves suffer the whims of their superiors and the stress of uncertainty due to dismissals, but they come here and pass on their frustrations to us without any compassion. So we are... — read more
New Years
Is New Year’s Day still a paid holiday? It’s posted in our break room that it is, but my managers have told me that it is not. Just genuinely curious if this has changed. As a full time employee, I don’t mind the extra pay, but I felt like last year... — read more
Hours cut after holidays
Schedules just went up and it looks like my stores hours are getting cut after Christmas. Even department heads are getting lowered to 28-32 hours. Thought we would have a little while long before that would happen. Anyone else experiencing this?
BPS buys Sportsman’s Warehouse
Johnny is buying Sportsman’s Warehouse now, glad we laid people off and cut pay to make it happen.
There’s still hope
Is anyone seeing an uptick in sales during the Christmas season? Just 4 days left and I have to say I love having last minute shoppers! Chaching! We’re still a little understaffed but my coworkers and I have been catching the Christmas spirit and for... — read more
Where are some other places to work that treat retail employees better?
Only sticking it out working here for the healthcare. What other places are better to work at that have decent healthcare?
Retail is bad all around
I know a lot of people are unhappy at Bass. I read all the complaints here and they are valid. You’re unhappy with the way things are run, with management, and so forth. You can try to find another job with a competitor, but in reality you’ll find... — read more
Lost my respect
So I recently told my manager something in confidence and in return he told everyone what we spoke about. I had assumed the discussion would be kept confidential and now I feel betrayed that he has shared this with others. The only reason I spoke to... — read more
Johnny Morris
I have to wonder if Johnny has any idea how his employees really feel about these two boys that have taken over the macon Ga store. They treat there employees like c-ap talk to them like c-ap, and think we are to take it, Johnny makes millions and he... — read more
How did we do?
I’ve got some friends who work at other retail shops and they all said it’s been pretty bad. I think we did really well at my location. We seemed to be a little understaffed but it was nothing we couldn’t handle. Our customer counts were a little low... — read more
I actually like this place
I am a fairly new employee. I gave myself a year with the company to see if it would be a good fit. Well, my anniversary date is just around the corner and I have to admit I like this place. My manager is not as bad as some I’ve heard about and while... — read more
We are asked why we still remain
I know many out there will not appreciate what I’m about to say but here goes. There are hundreds of employees who remain with Bass not because we love it or even like it here - but because it’s the way to pay the bills. I remember the difficulty I... — read more
Who is prepared for it?
Anyone feel their store is not prepared to handle the onslaught of customers when Black Friday sales open? In the past we have always tried to prepare for it - but we always fall short. We either don’t have enough employees on shift - or we run out... — read more
2021 Layoffs
Raises to riffs..2021 lay offs? What is the word out there? I hear lots of circulation that leads will have more responsibility and become key carriers...cutting more salary managers out.
Covid
Sad when you work in a bass pro store that has an employee postive Gor rhis but They will not let you know who, so how the HELL do you know if you have been around this merson
Seasonal hiring
I saw the company is doing seasonal hires. Anyone know if an employee who was laid off (not fired) can apply for those positions? I am also curious if anyone who was part of the layoffs back in the middle of the year has tried to apply. I’m just... — read more
Who did the company have to pay?
I found it interesting that the company won these awards for outstanding service and yet they treat employees like dirt. And winning “Most Reputable Company” ….don’t make me laugh... — read more
How are your sales?
Sometimes I have to wonder why are we even open. I'm not complaining - I still have a job that's giving me some measure of security as I look for something else. But even I can see that the numbers don't justify keeping us in business. Are others in... — read more
Thanksgiving week hours
So Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Thanksgiving the stores are opening at 6am. How wonderful (sarcasm tone).
401K
Anyone know when 401k stuff will start back up?
Worst hiring event I’ve ever seen in the company.
Listen I know it’s great basspro can brag about hiring people during the pandemic but this is the worst group of hires I’ve seen in the 5 years I’ve worked here. We barely got anyone to show up for our hiring day and the people we did hire aren’t... — read more
It’s so sad to watch the decline
It’s very unfortunate it has come to what it has. Losing knowledge with people leaving. Hiring kids who have no idea what they are doing. Everything and mean everything is about Club Card. Stock has been an issue for over twenty years for my store... — read more
What's new on layoffs?
Will there be more sometime soon?
Advertising
Is it me, or does Bass Pro have a problem with their Ads ? I have worked here for a little over a year now, and it seems we never have enough ad goods, and sometimes don't get them at all. We usually run out of product in the first day or so, but... — read more
Basspro in macon
I thought a person had to be employed 90 days before they could apply for another job in the basspro stores as we have had 2 jobs open and people who have been at Bass Pro a while put in for them and they were giving to people who have not been here... — read more
Santa's wonderland
Santa's wonderland is on! Will he have to wear a mask?
Thanksgiving
Any rumors about the status of Thanksgiving and how black Friday will be handled?
"Cabela's has no restrictions on attire unless it is deemed inappropriate for a family atmosphere."
Seen customers with the F word on their shirts few times in my store. Store probably afraid of getting no support from corporate in terms of telling a customer they can not wear the shirt. Corporate is useless.
Retention Bonus?!?!?
How in the heck is the company telling multi year full time outfitters/managers they can’t get bonuses/review pay increases for the entire year because of Covid, but turn around and hand out $1000 retention bonuses to new employees day 1. I’m in the... — read more
Just started and I’m confused
Started working for Basspro 3 weeks ago and I think I’ve made a huge mistake. What is going on with this company? Everything seems outdated and run as cheaply as possible. Most of the employees who aren’t full time are worthless. We are missing so... — read more
